It's climbing a knotted rope, with a wall to brace on (that itself has handholds). No healthy adult human has any reasonable prospect of failure when doing so, and even children can do so reliably.Next thing you know, people are going to be calling for checks to Swim a lap in a pool or drown.</blockquote>
